I am happy to volunteer my time this year. I’d quite like to exhibit as well, which might make it awkward, but if there is some way I can do both I am happy to do so.

David.

They are progressing.

It's a bit early yet, but January/February is when I start gearing up in earnest.

There are a bunch of anniversaries this year but I'm not particularly partial to themes for the show.  I'm just looking for engaging speakers, passionate exhibitors and enthusiastic volunteers. :)

I'll probably open exhibit registration within the next few weeks and post some calls for speakers and such, but I'm going to be fairly quiet until after VCF East.

But please spread the word and shoot me an email if you want to sign up to present or volunteer... or both!

Sir Clive died recently too.  Not super well known in the US but certainly worried Commodore a bunch in the early days.

No theme here.  I will show a bunch of CP/M systems, trying to plan the attack on the Chromemco and Vector Graphics systems.  
I have almost completed an impact printer via mits 88-4pio board this is a real PITA to interface with.   Oddly I don't remember it
being all that bad in 75 when it was running an optical tape reader.  

Might even do some networking again.
